is 14 the solution in of equation x+11=39
----------
Put 14 in place of "x" in the equation and
see if you get a true answer:
14+11 = 39
25 = 39
That is wrong, so 14 is not the solution.
-------------------
What is the solution?
x+11=39
Subtract 11 from both sides of the equation to get:
x+11-11 = 39-11
x = 28
---------
Try that solution in the original equation; you get
28+11 = 39
39 = 39
Good; 28 is the solution.
Cheers,
